Rain
Do you ever feel like rain?
Unable to stick to anything
Instead, you make everything around you seem gloomy wherever you go
Sometimes I feel like rain…
I cannot seem to stick to anything
Unlike snow
Every time I try to
I slip and fall onto the muddy wet ground
When the sun comes out
It tries to lift me up
I fall again
I cannot seem to do anything to change it
But only if you look at it that way…
Rain can make way for new life
When you fall instead of sticking
It means you were not meant to stick
But to flow into a river changing the atmosphere around you
Rain is never alone
It gathers up into a puddle, stream, lake, river, into a vast ocean
So, do not wish to be snow, ice, or anything else
Instead, look at yourself
And see what you can accomplish
Or you might miss the chance of a lifetime

Hello
Welcome to Neopoet. Your poem was fun to read and also made me think (Thanks for the headache lol). My only suggestion is to try and condense some of the longest line for purely visual reasons. But pay me little heed as free verse is not my forte. Others here are better qualified. BTW if you need help navigating here or have any questions feel free to holler
